Other
differences between coastal locales, is that coastal structures can be broken
by many long and narrow bays, so called fjords or of many small islands
known as skerries that form archipelagoes. Furthermore, certain rocky beaches
are situated by the open sea, others are more secluded, while certains places
are dominated by low-lying skerries, others are dominated by mountainous
skerries with steep precipices. Further differences can also be from which
direction the wind predominately blows, towards or away from land. Variations
can also be seen amongst the local fauna depending on if they live on the
sunny
side of an island compared to a
shady side.
